Magician research

Postby WAGroup4 » Oct 12th, '10, 11:15



Hi there, I'm currently conducting user analysis for a magician community project at University. The goal is to create a website for a community of interest that isn't something we are currently knowledgeable in. One of the first goals is trying to establish the demography of magicians.

A reply to this would be very much appreciated as it will allow us to identify the users and be able to design the website in such a way to cater for as many as possible. Do note that this website will be kept on the University servers and will not interfere with this community.

Note: Fields are optional and you may fill in only the information you wish to.

Any conditions that may hinder use of a site: Dyslexic, online via a PS3 rather than a real computer.

I feel like I should point out that this is a British based forum and the country of origin data may be misleading because of this.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

By the way, you can find a lot about the "demographics" here by looking at their status under the avatar:

More work for you, but more complete.
